001this is dot Easy Graham coming to you with another video today we're gonna be showing you a little more of the new editor within WordPress specifically the block editor some of you me tried this already some of you mean not of this does have a lot of new features to it which is kind of nice to try it does look like it's something they're going to keep working on so they'll definitely be adding more features in the future which will be nice if we're going to show you some of the blocks and different things you can do with this in case you're just setting up a new WordPress site and having tried it before as well as those of you who want to give it a try who have been familiar with you the other
002types of editors like d vu or a page builder or other different plugins that are available I'm gonna show you a couple different things you can do with it some of the more interesting more blocks you can use this well so as you can see here we've got a new post just nothing on it or a new whatsoever now the first thing you want to do when you create a new page or a new post whenever you're within the new editor is to go through an actual I add a title because this will create the page and actually save it in the system once there's actually a page name to it so we're gonna just call this a test page here just something simple and easy to do and with that we can start working
003on it now whenever you're adding any kind of blockier there's a couple different ways to add it you can either use the option at the top here which will just add a block but underneath the last one you were working on they also have the ability to click on the plus here with a lot of block directly on to the page as well you can also see there's a couple icons here these are some of the more common blocks like an image or a heading and named quotation so these are a different couple options you can do to add it in there you can even see you can add a block between these two if you want to add one in there as well if you already have a couple blocks set up so there's
004a couple different ways to go through and actually add this in here whenever you click on the plus symbol it's gonna ask you what type of block you want to do now this is based on whatever type of block you regularly trying use or what you're trying to do with the page you can set up a paragraph an image code everything you pretty much doing the older editor you can do in this editor as well it just now has to select which of the groups you're looking for the most used ones are just the most commonly used ones but they're actually redone between all the different one you're taking juice between the inline element which allows you like it says do you add an inline image to something you already have set up their common
005blocks are the ones you'll use most of the time paragraph images you can do audio/video files for setting those up at gallery if you want to do it as well headings for your pages so you'll find most of the time you're setting up and using within this one here if you enjoy doing more of the coding yourself the formatting is gonna be your table to use you'll see there's code as well as custom HTML so you'll find yourself often coming into here you can also set up a table through here as well so it's a good idea to come in here if you prefer to work with the actual code itself and elements are more of changing the style itself that columns one is particularly useful because this allows you to actually break up and
006have I left on the right side to your paid so it's very very helpful to do if you want to have more of a separator the meaning in text lets you alternate as well so you can have say like a picture and type beside each other as the editor itself well you can drag and around drag and drop things up and down usually you're not able to go left side right side without adding some kind of lit you know an element to actually allow a left and a right side to be there so do just keep that in mind the widgets here more some of the things like short codes if you're familiar with them your widgets may look different depending on if you have plugins or things set up here so this will expand
007and change themes and beds will also do that as well these are just some the standard ones like YouTube and things from WordPress Spotify there's a whole bunch of different ones here so these are your third-party services like things you're linking to somewhere else so you can use the blocks here for that you may also have another one below embeds this generally happens to be the custom themes or custom plugins you have setup so you may see other ones here that are under that that'll very heavily in this case here we're just using pretty standalone installation of WordPress so you're not gonna see any here I wanted to show you a couple of the ones here itself just to give you an idea of what to look for so in this case you're gonna start
008off with a common block just on the common ones so you can go a paragraph this is just typing a normal text and then you can see you've got the options like normal so you can align these you can bold italic if you click on this here and you can actually get a couple more options you can actually hide this if you don't want it to be visible anymore you can duplicate it create a second version of it the big important ones here are definitely the edited HTML so you can actually modify the raw code once you've actually added it in there if you want the other big one is this one called add a reusable block this allows you to actually create a special name for it and it allows you to recreate it
009as many times you want so you can actually just select that block it's like making your own custom block and being able to add that in here so in this case here if we go through and add another option here we're just going to add an image save and if we go to the media library we can try and grab a random image here we'll just use the dot Easy logo and as you can see we've got that set up if we set that to a reasonable one here you'll say image reusable and just save that here and then what we can do is if we can go to add here you'll see there's all the different options as before and you'll also see now there's the reusable option below it's been added below embeds
010and if we click on this it'll add the exact same thing itself so I need boxing you create you can mark it as it's reusable and you can go through and actually name it this is super helpful for a lot of pages say if you want to keep recreating the same heading image or a certain set of text say like a photo or something like that so you can set these up easily to very easily just recreate a whole bunch of content within the sites so it is one the noir features which is definitely a lot more nicer to do whenever you have anything sup you can always use this little icon here you can click on it and then you can drag and drop things different places you'll see there's this little blue line
011that appears when you're in the right location just let you know where it's going to be falling below so if we move it up here for instance there we go the text is now below so you do want to use that blue line as a little divider to let you know where things are being added into if you want to you say yeah some layouting here so formatting here we're gonna add a column seeing there's now a left column and now there's a right column this is how you can add like a left and a right side to the page otherwise they can't there's no real drag-and-drop option unfortunately once you've brought the columns in here though you can definitely add content to the actual column so you can actually drop it into these different
012ones here so you do have the option of say let's add just something here some of the ones you can't actually add in here images tend to be a little large so it doesn't always let them add in there so do keep that in mind if we do look here I'll just go just call me and let's select the file here we select a file we can see it's actually giving us the option to put it in here so you can see in this case here that it it above it but it's still in the actual column so it does keep that here so you can set this to you create a left and right side to the page very easily and you can see it's already starting to have a very block format so
013you've got the heading here you've got a starter image I've got a file we have here in this case you've got a left piece where you've got a bunch of text you're gonna be typing got a little bit below the file you're gonna be adding here we've got another paragraph below and then an image and you can see very easily you can create a page without too much real of work to it it does allow you to very easily go through and select things anything to either upload or media library' out of it and you can very easily reuse anything you want to you can even mark everything on the page as a reusable block and then just literally copy and paste it across so it is very nice to use compared to the older
014editor if you have used that before and definitely has a long way to go I would like to see personally them allow you to build for it around to the base left and right but they do have columns some other things but he's a brand new editor so they are gonna keep working on it there are some bugs here and there would you've run into just things where do they mean on appear properly like when you're dragging up and down make sure you do for that blue line otherwise you may not actually move it for you so just do keep that in mind if you do find anything you can always report it to WordPress itself so that they can help update it and I'm sure there will be future updates for as well but
015we just wanted to show you some different items for and how you can quickly kind of layout your page and start to build it using the page editor I just wanted to get this to you guys if you have any questions or anything else you'd like to see in terms of videos you leave it in the comments as well and like the video if you'd like this to bring more as well you have any questions you can always contact our support as well thank you for watching [Music] you
